Abstract

The size of the world’s largest cities is increasing; the urbanization process is complicated and different in developed and developing countries. However, if well managed, urban spaces may offer valuable opportunities for economic and social development. This chapter investigates the current challenges and opportunities in Urban Agriculture (UA) and discusses if the adoption of Urban Computing (UC) and information and communications technologies (ICT) can aid urban dwellers, farmers and planners to progress UA in global north or global south countries like Germany and Brazil. Besides, the chapter seeks to explore new joint-research possibilities addressed in the 8th Brazil-Germany Frontiers of Science and Technology Symposium (BRAGFOST).
